No second thoughts. For full 24 fret access, you could even take more off. You’re building the guitar I almost ordered about a year ago. I’ve been wrestling with how to cut the body for access as well.
It looks like the Warmoth Nomad body cut the horn for upper fret access and then cut an equal amount from the bottom to make it look balanced. I was going to do something like that.
Another idea was the 24 fret explorer type Dean Dave Mustaine Vic Rattlehead Guitar. That one looks like it’s got 24 fret access and is shaped well.
Don’t have any second thoughts. Most guitars nowadays don’t have access to all 24 frets and for some advanced shredding, that doesn’t get it!!!
Check out Virtuoso guitarist, Rusty Cooley’s discussions About guitar construction on YouTube sometime. He is right, guitars need to evolve. Keep at it!
Reminds me of those 24 fret Explorers they released for about 6 weeks....Originally Posted by Chaosblade

I’m wondering if there is a way you can alter the bass side as well that makes it look less out of place. Maybe get the angle of the bass side bout to be sharper like the new cut? I’m not sure though. I can’t quite visualise it.

That's kind of what the one in post 14 is. It's a lot of wood to cut off, and I'm not sure if it would be functional with the neck pocket just sticking out like that. It does look better, but that doesn't matter if it's not a functional neck pocket.
